"Press his luck" nghĩa là gì?

"Press (one's) luck" = nắm chặt/thúc ép vận may -> nghĩa là đánh liều với vận may đã có với hy vọng thành công hơn, nhưng có nguy cơ mất tất cả những gì đã đạt được từ trước tới nay.

Ví dụ
Transitioning an occluded (mắc kẹt) front, it may be Le Cléac’h was prepared to press his luck, but more likely he saw less cloud coming toward him and so was confident the front had evaporated (bốc hơi) and was therefore confident in his break away from the peloton.

Those legal (pháp lý) troubles led Vegas Dave to press his luck in the lucrative (có lợi) world of memorabilia (việc đáng nhớ). “When they banned (cấm) me,” Oancea says, “my vision was clear: sports cards.”

He didn’t want to press his luck, to put his face to the rehab grindstone for another year or two or 10, just to come out the other end with a body that doesn’t work and a nagging (rầy la) loathing (ghê tởm) of the thing he devoted the first part of his life to.
